it seems to me we've had 70 years of government failure and a failure of government policy. and my question for you is, given 70 years of government failure in all aspects in housing finance, going forward why should congress trust the government's? >> thank you for getting a chance to clarify that. my point is that come is exactly the same. since the 1930s we have not really given the market a chance. so the system is built up to be detained on government programs. nobody really knows what a free market system would be anymore. and i think congress will have a great reluctance to go there, because congress will be told by the realtors, the home builders and others it's too dangerous. this will ruin the housing market and they will all be blamed for it. so i think it's not impossible to think that will go back to a freer market system, but i think congress is going to be very wary because that is going into the unknown at this point. >> other questions? yes, over here. >> is this on? good evening and thank you for the opportunity. and actual presentation this evening. my nam

when the south african government, the white south african government tried to get around the international community's revulsion of apartheid they tried to create these things called the bantustans who were given full independence beginning in 1976. when it came before the united nations, to vote on recognizing the bantustans, the vote was 134-0, the u.s. was the sole abstaining. it was 134-0. is exactly the same lopsided majority in the united nations, the same lopsided majority that the case of israel/palestine calls for two states on the june of 1967 border. the obvious reason why to support two states in the june of 1967 border is the same reason you supported one state in south africa, because that is what the international community deemed the reasonable, just and legitimate resolution of the conflict. >> thank you so much. [applause] >> the finkelstein debate can continue outside where norman and anna will be signing their books, "knowing too much: why the american jewish romance with israel is coming to an end," thank you for coming.
